Amendment 1

Proposal for a directiveRecital 1

Text proposed by the Commission Amendment

(1) In order to maintain a high level of maritime safety and pollution prevention at sea, it is essential to improve the level of knowledge and skills of the Union seafarers by developing maritime training and certification in line with the international rules.

(1) In order to maintain a high level of maritime safety and pollution prevention at sea, it is essential to improve the level of knowledge and skills of the Union seafarers by developing maritime training and certification in line with the international rules and technological progress, as well as to take further action to enhance the European maritime skills base through the provision of advanced training and development opportunities for Union seafarers.

Amendment 2

Proposal for a directiveRecital 2 a (new)


(2a) The STCW Code already contains guidance on the prevention of fatigue (Section B-VIII/1) as well as on fitness for duty (Section A-VIII/1). In order to ensure high levels of safety, it is imperative that the standards laid out in this international convention are enforced and followed without exception.

Amendment 3



(3a) In order to foster the professional mobility of seafarers within the EU and avoid the European maritime sector

facing a shortage of competent staff with the right mix of skills and competences, the mutual recognition of seafarers’ certificates issued by Member States should be facilitated. Therefore, Member States should fully recognise certificates of proficiency and documentary evidence issued to seafarers by other Member States, including for the purposes of issuing national certificates of competency. If a Member State refuses to endorse or accept such a valid certificate issued by another Member State, it should state the reasons on which that decision is based.

Amendment 4



(5) Directive 2008/106/EC also contains a centralised mechanism for the recognition of seafarers' certificates issued by third countries. The Regulatory Fitness Programme (REFIT) evaluation14 showed that significant cost savings for the Member States were achieved since the introduction of the centralised mechanism. However, the evaluation also revealed that, with regard to some of the recognised third countries, only a very limited number of seafarers was subsequently employed in Union vessels. Therefore, in order to use the available human and financial resources in a more efficient way, the procedure for the recognition of third countries should be based on an analysis of the need for such recognition, including an estimation of the number of masters and officers originating from that country who are likely to be employed in Union vessels.

Amendment 5



(6a) In order to ensure the right of all seafarers to decent employment and to limit distortions of competition in the internal market, the recognition of seafarers' certificates issued by third countries should be conditional upon the ratification of the international Maritime Labour Convention by those third countries.

Amendment 6



(7) In order to further increase the efficiency of the centralised system for the recognition of third countries, the reassessment of third countries which provide low number of seafarers in the Union fleet should be performed in longer intervals which should be increased to ten years. However, this longer period of reassessment of the system of such third countries should be combined with priority criteria which take into account safety concerns, balancing the need for efficiency with an effective safeguard mechanism in case of deterioration of the quality of seafarers' training provided in the relevant third countries.

(7) In order to further increase the efficiency of the centralised system for the recognition of third countries, the reassessment of third countries which provide low number of seafarers in the Union fleet should be performed in longer intervals which should be increased to eight years. The aptitude of those seafarers should also be assessed by the Member States and, if necessary, those seafarers should undergo training. However, this longer period of reassessment of the system of such third countries should be combined with priority criteria which take into account safety concerns, balancing the need for efficiency with an effective safeguard mechanism in case of deterioration of the quality of seafarers' training provided in the relevant third countries.

Amendment 7



(8) Information on the seafarers employed from third countries has become available at Union level through the communication by the Member States of the relevant information kept in their national registers regarding issued certificates and endorsements. This information should be used not only for statistical and policy making purposes but also for the purpose of improving the efficiency of the centralised system recognising third countries. Based on the information communicated by the Member States, recognised third countries which have not provided the Union fleet with seafarers for a period of at least five years shall be withdrawn from the list of recognised third countries. In addition, this information shall be also used in order to prioritise the reassessment of the recognised third countries.

Based on the information communicated by the Member States, the recognition of third countries which have not provided the Union fleet with seafarers for a period of at least eight years should be re-examined. The re-examination process should cover the possibility of retaining or withdrawing the recognition of the relevant third country. In addition, this information shall be also used in order to prioritise the reassessment of the recognised third countries.

Amendment 8



(9) The provisions for recognition of professional qualifications in accordance with Directive 2005/36/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council15 are not applicable with regard to the recognition of certificates of seafarers under Directive 2008/106/EC.

seafarers' certificates referred in Directive 2005/45/EC have become obsolete following the 2010 amendments to the STCW Convention. Therefore the mutual recognition scheme of seafarers' certificates issued by Member States should be amended in order to reflect the international amendments and the new definitions of seafarers certificates included in Directive 2008/106/EC. In addition, the seafarers' medical certificates issued under the authority of Member States should also be included in the mutual recognition scheme. In order to remove ambiguity and the risk of inconsistencies between Directive 2005/45/EC and Directive 2008/106/EC, the mutual recognition of seafarers' certificates should be regulated by Directive 2008/106/EC.

Amendment 9


RR\1173723EN.docx 9/36 PE628.404v02-00

(9a) In order to help increase safety, improve efficiency with regard to the management of vessels flying a Member State flag and promote seafarers trained within the Union, it is important to further develop European maritime know-how and improve seafarers’ qualifications and skills, in particular in the context of technological developments and the digitisation of the sector. Training should therefore be offered above and beyond the minimum requirements laid down in the STCW Convention and results in the award of a European Maritime Diploma of Excellence, as the Task Force on Maritime Employment and Competitiveness at the Commission recommended in its report of 9 June 2011. Furthermore, in order for benefits to be derived from exchanges of good practice among Member States, encouragement should be given to promoting the Erasmus+ scheme for seafarer training.

Amendment 10

Proposal for a directiveRecital 9 b (new)


(9b) Certificates should be centralised by means of an EU-level electronic database, which is also linked to the database referred to in Directive 2009/16/EC1a of the European Parliament and of the Council. This digitisation of data is part and parcel of technological progress in the area of data collection and communication with a view to helping to bring down costs and making efficient use of human resources.

2009 on port State control (OJ L 131, 28.5.2009, p. 57).

Amendment 11



(10a) A broad debate involving social partners, Member States, training institutions and other stakeholders is necessary to investigate the possibility of creating a voluntary system of harmonised certificates going beyond the STCW in the level of training, in order to increase the competitive advantage of European seafarers. Such a STCW+ could establish “maritime certificates of excellence” based on European maritime postgraduate courses, which would provide European seafarers with skills above and beyond those required at international level. The increasing digitisation of the maritime sector should help improve and develop those skills and qualifications.

Amendment 12



(10b) The education of European seafarers as masters and officers should be supported by exchanges of students between Maritime Education and Training Institutions across the Union. In order to cultivate and develop the skills and qualifications of seafarers under a European flag, an exchange of good practices between Member States is necessary. The training of seafarers should fully benefit from the opportunities

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

IntroductionThe importance of the human element when it comes to safety at sea and the protection of the marine environment is recognised at EU level. Improving the education, training and certification of seafarers has been considered particularly important with a view to attaining a high level of safety.There are two directives that govern this issue within the EU: Directive 2008/106/EC, which lays down minimum standards of training and education, and Directive 2005/45/EC, which fosters the professional mobility of seafarers within the EU by facilitating the mutual recognition of certificates issued by the Member States. More specifically:

Directive 2008/106/EC integrates, at EU level, the international framework on the training, certification and watchkeeping requirements for seafarers developed under the auspices of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and prescribed by the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers 1978, as amended (STCW Convention).

Directive 2005/45/EC fosters the professional mobility of seafarers within the EU by means of a simplified procedure to facilitate the mutual recognition of certificates issued by the Member States.

Fitness checks on existing legislationThe REFIT (Regulatory Fitness and Performance Programme) evaluation showed that the EU framework for seafarers’ training and certification has for the most part achieved its key objectives and remains fully relevant. On the one hand, the framework has helped eliminate insufficiently qualified crews working on board vessels flying EU-flags by enhancing education, training and certification for seafarers. At the same time, a level playing field has been established between seafarers trained in the EU and seafarers recruited in third countries through the introduction of the centralised EU mechanism. Finally, the mutual recognition of seafarers’ certificates under Directive 2005/45/EC has increased the mobility of seafarers among within the fleet of vessels flying the flags of EU Member States.The REFIT evaluation identified a number of shortcomings with regard to the efficiency and proportionality of some of the regulatory requirements laid down in the directive, for example:

the administrative framework applicable to the recognition and re-assessment procedure for third countries is inefficient;

the scope of the scheme for the mutual recognition of seafarers’ certificates issued by the Member States lacks clarity and legal certainty;

Directive 2008/106/EC needs to be harmonised on a regular basis to reflect the latest amendments to the STCW Convention, especially as regards the new rules on the qualifications and training of seafarers working on board passenger ships, vessels using gas or other low-flashpoint fuels (falling under the IGF Code) and vessels operating in polar waters. In this respect, the current procedure for taking STCW Convention amendments into account causes considerable delays and means there is a risk of EU law being out line with the international framework for a significant period of time.

The Commission proposal The aim of the Commission proposal is to simplify and streamline the existing EU regulatory

PE628.404v02-00 22/36 RR\1173723EN.docx

EN

framework on minimum training and certification for seafarers with a view to attaining the following three aims:

first, keep the EU rules aligned with the international framework; second, revamp the centralised mechanism for the recognition of third countries in

order to enhance its efficiency; and third, step up legal clarity regarding the mutual recognition of seafarers’

certificates issued by the Member States.

The rapporteur’s positionThe rapporteur supports and welcomes the Commission proposal, the aim of which is to update European standards in line with the STCW Convention rules laid down under the auspices of the IMO. The rapporteur is aware of the need to support and monitor the quality of training for seafarers working on board vessels flying EU Member State flags, in particular by monitoring the quality of the training undertaken by seafarers recruited in third countries under arrangements for the mutual recognition of certificates. The overarching aim here is to ensure safety on board ships.

More specifically, the rapporteur takes the view that the changes made by the Commission with regard to the mutual recognition of seafarers’ certificates issued by Member States do simplify matters, removing legal duplication between the international framework and Directive 2008/106/EC.

The rapporteur also welcomes the proposal to review the procedure for recognising seafarers’ certificates issued by a third country, and the proposal for a system for the withdrawal of recognition. He takes the view, however, that where there is no recruitment of seafarers from a third country to work on board vessels flying a Member State flag, the period at the end of which recognition may be withdrawn from the third country concerned should be extended from five to eight years. The longer period is required so that it fits in with the duration of the training and validation.

With regard to applications from Member States to the Commission for the recognition of third-country certificates of competency or proficiency, the rapporteur takes the view that such applications must be considered on the basis of the law. The Commission cannot decide for itself, on the basis of the third country involved, whether or not to initiate the procedure.

The rapporteur also proposes two new measures to enhance the quality of training for European seafarers. First, he proposes a European Certificate of Excellence for seafarer training that goes beyond the minimum standards laid down at international level, with a view to developing European know-how and bringing seafarers’ skills into line with the digitisation of their job, alongside other measures with the ultimate goal of using training to give European seafarers a competitive edge on the global market.

Second, he proposes that the certificates issued by Member States or recognised third countries should be transferred immediately to an electronic, centralised EU-level database which is connected to the inspections database referred to in Directive 2009/16/EC on port State control. The aim here is to bring down financial and human resources costs, whilst enhancing the efficiency of the monitoring system as a whole.

OPINION OF THE COMMITTEE ON EMPLOYMENT AND SOCIAL AFFAIRS

for the Committee on Transport and Tourism

on the proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Directive 2008/106/EC on the minimum level of training of seafarers and repealing Directive 2005/45/EC (COM(2018)0315 – C8-0205/2018 – 2018/0162(COD))

Rapporteur for opinion: Sofia Ribeiro

SHORT JUSTIFICATION

Improving education and training is an absolute priority for the European Union and its policymakers. Providing European citizens with skills is an ambition that will boost the sustainability of many sectors of the economy; maritime transport is no exception.

Ninety per cent of goods exports from the European Union and 40% of intra-EU trade are sent by sea. Maritime transport is thus a crucial axis for the advancement of European trade, with enormous economic impact and consequent job creation. We must therefore ensure training, specialisation and certification for seafarers so as to minimise potential threats to the safety of human lives and goods at sea or to the marine environment during operations on board ships. EU legislation on the minimum level of training and minimum acceptable working conditions and safety arrangements on board must also be consistent with international standards and conventions, given that the maritime sector is inherently globalised in nature.

The current EU normative framework has already made great strides in helping eliminate substandard crews working on board the EU-flagged ships by enhancing maritime education training and certification. At the same time, a level playing field has been achieved between seafarers trained in the Union and seafarers employed from third countries through the establishment of the EU-centralised mechanism, in accordance with the obligations the Member States assumed upon acceding to the STCW Convention. However, in view of recent legislative developments, EU legislation needs to be adapted, simplified and reformulated.

The current process of reviewing Directive 2008/106/EC on the minimum level of training of seafarers and repealing Directive 2005/45/EC will meet this need and should therefore attempt both to eliminate loopholes that have already been identified and to simplify and streamline the current EU regulatory framework in these areas.

The Committee on Employment and Social Affairs calls on the Committee on Transport and Tourism, as the committee responsible, to take into account the following amendments:

Amendment 1



(5) Directive 2008/106/EC also contains a centralised mechanism for the recognition of seafarers' certificates issued by third countries. The Regulatory Fitness Programme (REFIT) evaluation14 showed that significant cost savings for the Member States were achieved since the introduction of the centralised mechanism. However, the evaluation also revealed that, with regard to some of the recognised third countries, only a very limited number of seafarers was subsequently employed in Union vessels. Therefore, in order to use the available human and financial resources in a more efficient way, the procedure for the recognition of third countries should be based on an analysis of the need for such recognition, including an estimation of the number of masters and officers originating from that country who are likely to be employed in Union vessels.

(5) Directive 2008/106/EC also contains a centralised mechanism for the recognition of seafarers' certificates issued by third countries. The Regulatory Fitness Programme (REFIT) evaluation14 showed that significant cost savings for the Member States were achieved since the introduction of the centralised mechanism. However, the evaluation also revealed that, with regard to some of the recognised third countries, only a very limited number of endorsements attesting to the recognition of certificates were issued by Member States in relation to certificates of competency or certificates of proficiency issued by those third countries.

provide low number of seafarers in the Union fleet should be performed in longer intervals which should be increased to ten years. However, this longer period of reassessment of the system of such third countries should be combined with priority criteria which take into account safety concerns, balancing the need for efficiency with an effective safeguard mechanism in case of deterioration of the quality of seafarers' training provided in the relevant third countries.

provide low number of seafarers in the Union fleet should be performed in longer intervals which should be increased to ten years. The aptitude of those seafarers should also be assessed by the Member States and, if necessary, they should undergo training. However, this longer period of reassessment of the system of such third countries should be combined with priority criteria which take into account safety concerns, balancing the need for efficiency with an effective safeguard mechanism in case of deterioration of the quality of seafarers' training provided in the relevant third countries.

Amendment 3



(8) Information on the seafarers employed from third countries has become available at Union level through the communication by the Member States of the relevant information kept in their national registers regarding issued certificates and endorsements. This information should be used not only for statistical and policy making purposes but also for the purpose of improving the efficiency of the centralised system recognising third countries. Based on the information communicated by the Member States, recognised third countries which have not provided the Union fleet with seafarers for a period of at least five years shall be withdrawn from the list of recognised third countries. In addition, this information shall be also used in order to prioritise the reassessment of the recognised third countries.

Based on the information communicated by the Member States, the recognition of third countries which have not provided the Union fleet with seafarers for a period of at least 10 years should be re-examined. The re-examination process should cover the possibility of retaining or withdrawing the recognition of the relevant third country, in accordance with the examination procedure. In addition, this information shall be also used in order to prioritise the reassessment of the recognised third

countries.

Amendment 4



(10a) A broad debate involving social partners, Member States, training institutions and other stakeholders is necessary to investigate the possibility of creating a voluntary system of harmonised certificates going beyond the STCW in the level of training, in order to increase the competitive advantage of European seafarers. Such a STCW+ could establish “maritime certificates of excellence” based on European maritime postgraduate courses, which would provide European seafarers with skills above and beyond those required at international level. The increasing digitisation of the maritime sector should help improve and develop those skills and qualifications.

Amendment 5



(10b) The education of European seafarers as masters and officers should be supported by exchanges of students between Maritime Education and Training Institutions across the Union. In order to cultivate and develop the skills and qualifications of seafarers under a European flag, an exchange of good practices between Member States is necessary. The training of seafarers should fully benefit from the opportunities

Amendment 6



5a. Member States should, in so far as is possible, keep the list of their needs and job offers for seafarers updated.

Amendment 7



7a. By … [five years after the entry into force of this directive], the Commission shall present an evaluation of the impact of the mutual recognition of certificates issued by Member States on the employment of European seafarers.
